In the era of rapid technological advancements and global economic transformation, the emergence of “new productivity” has become a critical driver of industrial upgrading. New productivity, characterized by the integration of digitalization, intelligence, and sustainability, represents an advanced stage of productivity development. Technological innovation serves as the core force behind this transformation, reshaping traditional industries and fostering the emergence of new industrial systems. This paper explores the pathways and mechanisms through which technological innovation drives industrial upgrading from the perspective of new productivity. By analyzing theoretical foundations and real-world cases, it identifies key factors such as digital transformation, intelligent manufacturing, and sustainable practices. The study also examines the interactions between technological innovation, industrial structure optimization, and value chain enhancement, providing insights into policy-making and strategic development for realizing high-quality industrial growth.
